1) Hand above, best way to get value/ any chance of getting the other player in if I had checked the turn??

2) Next hand, I was unsure of the min-3-bet on the flop, I had only recently joined the table but assumed it was either a bluff or a very strong hand, I thought check/calling would give me value from bluffs while minimising damage if he did have me beat.

4) This player had been pot-betting OOP nearly every time, is simply calling each street (only raising if it's not all in by the river) teh best way to get his stack?

6) Should I have reraised the turn? He was deffo on tilt from the previous hand which had happened literally 5 seconds earlier, so I thought he would shove the river.

Oh - you DID show one you lost, on a new post.

Strange to go to all that trouble of posting 9 standard hands imo !

I only had 2 losing pots over £15 the other one I know was just bad luck, I've only been playing cash for a few days and am wondering how I could get more value, avoid bad situations etc.

That hand was posted afterwards cos it wasn't in my last 500, i had to search a different time slot.

EDIT: 3 losing over £15, the last one of the 1st post was too

Ok, soz lol

Just seems strange posting winning hands and asking how to play them.

grantorino · October 2011

Dont play fr but anyway

1 check flop
2 fine
3 fine
4 depends on player but sometimes fold pre, and I sometimes raise flop. Turn and river standard
5 if you raise flop you have to be prepared to get it in, nh
6 I prob shove flop if I think he is tilted
7 Id often 3bet pre, when you flat pre you should prob flat flop imo
8 raise pre yourself
9 fold pre, c/r on flop is really bad imo
10 raise bigger pre, I would often just give up on that flop, rest is fine

reads may change some of these obv, also post less hands per thread if you want better replies

DW, I had a very profitable night, but know if I was better I could have had even more. Just trying to improve my cash game

huuuuume · October 2011

is there anything here that is not standard????

Although i love how on some hands you fall completely in love with top pair but the moment you are min reraised you shut down completely.

Q10 oop pre flop call looks like a leak to me
